Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 3. Detection of Angptl4 mRNA in the callus 7 days post femoral fracture. Serial sections were taken through the mid-callus to show callus cartilage (A–C) and new bone formation (D–F) and mineralizing osteoblasts at higher magnification (G–I). White x’s mark the condensing mesenchyme, asterisks mark the original cortical bone, and brackets designate the callus cartilage (A) or areas of new bone formation (D). Panels A, D, and G were stained with H&E/Alcian Blue, panels B, E, and H demonstrate in situ hybridization staining for Angplt4 mRNA and panels C, F, and I are no probe controls.
Article Snippet: To examine the effects of exogenous ANGPTL4 on osteogenesis, standard culture media was replaced 24h after plating with differentiation media supplemented with 0, 100, or 250ng/ml recombinant full length murine ANGPTL4 (R&D systems, Minneapolis, MN).
Techniques: Staining, In Situ Hybridization
